Overview

This is our first piece we're offering, and it's a special one. Tulip shaped lugs, 18k pink gold, in a "Jumbo" 35mm case. The case back carries French maker's marks and British import hallmarks, along with the Omega logo and case serial number.


Worth noting, this calibre, the 28.10 RA PC, was Omega's first ever automatic movement, introduced in 1943. This watch is a genuine piece of Omega history.


The dial is a wonderful example of Stern Frères work. They kept making dials even after acquiring Patek Philippe in 1932, and this one shows it. It has a striking two-tone dial with a lighter outer chapter ring and a darker toned centre, further enhanced by aged tropical patina that gives it real depth and character. The dial is fully original, paired with crisp Arabic numeral hour markers.

Fully serviced and tested. Comes on a brown calf strap with a new plated rose gold Omega buckle.
